Cocktail Class Clips for 3/4" wood?

[Jakobud]

I know that the Midway Cocktail Glass Clips are made to fit 1" wood + 1/4" glass.  Are there any clips out there that will work for 3/4" wood + 1/4" glass?  I don't want to buy an entire extra sheet of 1" wood just for the top when the rest of my project is 3/4".

I'm pretty sure (but not 100% sure) that Midway cocktail glass clips are exactly that size.

Hmmm well I see these here:

They are 1 1/4", 1" for the wood and 1/4" for the glass.  Are there others that I'm not aware of?

spacies was making and selling some of these. I don't know if he is still doing it or not but you can ask him. Here is the thread he had about it.

Sorry no, I was mistaken on the size.

You might consider adding a shim around the edges.  If you cut a strip of 1/4" plywood, you could glue it all the way around (or just at the clip locations) and it should work.  Appropriately sized clips would obviously be better though.

Mike's Arcade now sells the 3/4" clips in addition to the normal thickness ones:

Good call on Ebay and Mikes Arcade.  You guys are resourceful as ever.
